turn off the use remote networks gateway on the clients and that should fix the problems. This must be done on the client because by default, when you use atleast the windows PPTP dialin option, the use default gateway is selected as a default option, thus, when connected via the VPN, everything you do, goes over the VPN connection through your PPTP server and back out, thus, a rule issue or DNS issue when connecting VIA the VPN could break your ability to browse the net when its connected.

By making this change in the client, everything not behind the POPTop server will go out over the non-tunneled link

I've tested using the windows vpn setup and the mac os x.  Same problem.

You will however require the use remote network gateway if the side you are connecting has multiple networks routed in other locations (isakmpd VPNs to
other locations)

I do have other remote offices conncted via isakmpd.

I don't have my config files in front of me, but what you are mentioning
would seem to be an issue with the remote gateway option but yet pf blocking you or something (would need to check your PF logs to see if thats the case
and I'm assuming you use PF)

PF is set to pass all right now.
